I reckon kjt will lose the overall event by over 100 points, unfortunately. But she’s a scouser so it’s not her fault

And go above us in the medal table!Our guy Roberts is in with a great shot at a medal in the climbing. He's 3rd after bouldering, and lead is his stronger discipline. Not sure how long the break between the two are though. I reckon the Japanese kid will win it though.

I see the medals they are giving out are going rusty already!
After the long-jump:
Johnson-Thompson: 5030
Thiam : 4985
Johnson-Thompson has got 773 pts in the javelin.
Thiam's PB is 59m, but if she gets about 55m, that is 958 pts.
Potentially, Thiam leads by 140 pts after the javelin.
in the 800m, we can expect Thiam to get about 930-950? (her best is ~2:12, or 961)
therefore, Johnson-Thompson would need ~1080 pts in the 800 (2:02!!), her best ever is 1064 (2:05). She should beat Thiam in the 800m, but she needs to beat her PB and hope for a slightly slower Thiam to stand any chance.
My prediction is she needs to win the 800 by between 9 and 10 seconds

So; another nailed on gold disappearing over the horizon, it seems. Track and field have been poor for team GB. 1 gold, from memory.

If KJT could have got closer to her best in the long jump she could have made it interesting in the 800 but sadly not to be I suspect.

If you're referring to Thompson I think the working assumption is more that things will go tits up at some point rather than anything being nailed on. Think she's done pretty well overall.
